I put a serious tag on this post because
I think it's very important that we stay on-topic here. If you have discussion on this, please continue it in this thread -- the purpose of this thread is for data collection only; other discussion will cause headaches that I don't have the moderator-powers to fix, so please, let's keep discussion on this in that thread:
F.DS has spoken. The one thing most valuable to this community in terms of improving the MF client is being able to play against appropriate opponents on automatch.
I've brought this to MF's attention but it's tough to tell them at this point a thing they can actually do since it's unclear where the problem is. The purpose of this thread is to collect as much data as possible relevant to this issue so that the problem can be pinpointed and MF can actually do something about it.
So here's what we can do to actually help:
If you play on MF, use automatch, and get paired with somebody who you feel doesn't meet the criteria of your search, please post the following information about that game (as much of this as you can come up with):
- The automatch criteria you used
- Your MF name
- Your rating on the MF leaderboard
- Your opponent's MF name
- Your opponent's rating on the MF leaderboardgetting the ratings before the game is ideal, but you might have to check the leaderboard after the game is over to get this info. The important thing is that both ratings are collected at the same time and we know when they were collected.- Game logPlease do NOT mention why you felt it was an inappropriate matchup beyond saying you felt this person had either too high or too low of a rating to be matched up with you given the criteria you used. We have plenty of threads where we like to point out what we think are misplays and whine about it, let's not let any of that garbage get in the way of actually making Online Dominion a better thing, please?
Another note: if you look at the leaderboard and find out that the leaderboard says the matchup was legit, please still post the information here, it's still helpful!
Thanks in advance for your help collecting data on this. Together, as a community, we can make a positive difference in our experience playing Dominion Online.
